Received this error message when starting iTunes and reinstalling does not resolve it: The registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs is missing...
Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library? and then install fresh to fix this problem?

The registry settings used by theiTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing

I recently installed a programme to convert audio from a cassette player to digital and I found that my CD/DVD drive was missing. I deleted the offending programme and followed a "fix" by deleting the upper and lower filters as specified in the fix. My CD/DVD drive reappeared but now when I open iTunes I get the message “the registry settings used by theiTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing” even though I am able to import tracks from a CD to iTunes. I haven't tried burning a CD yet but then I hardly ever do. I don't appear to have the problem but the message insists that I do!
I have removed iTunes and all associated files and folders from my computer and reinstalled iTunes three times but the message still appears every time I open iTunes. I use Vista. Can you help?
Many thanks.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Recently, when I want to burn a CD, I'm receiving the error message - "The Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's

Maybe someone can help me - lately, I keep receiving this error message when I want to burn a CD: "The Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing & burning CD's is missing. Please re-install iTunes." I've re-installed a number of times and it still won't burn CD's. I can play the music through my PC. I just can't burn CD's. any ideas?

Same problem as me. No answers though. Also I can't access the itunes store. There is something missing in the registry but what? Seeing as your post was sometime ago it looks like there is no help.

Only found one question similar and NO ANSWER to it.

Same problem here...nothing in my settings have changed since the upgrade and I've checked my cookie settings and they allow 3rd party cookies. What's up Mozilla? I've been faithful to you for years and you let me down now?

First, restart the MacBook Air and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this solves the problem.

iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

The registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing or burnning.....

I have installed iTunes 7.3.1. When I start iTunes, I get an error window titled "iTunes Setup Assistant" The text in the window is "The reggistry setings used by itunes drivers for importing or burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes." I then click on the ok button and itunes loads just fine but without the burn option. I have uninstalled Roxio Creator 8, Yahoo Picassa2 and any other softeware that might have a disc burning option. I then uninstalled itunes, rebooted and then reinstalled itunes. I still get the same message. What else can I do to get iTunes to be able to imnport and burn discs?xz

First try rebooting and repairing.
Reboot the PC (very important) and then do a repair install of iTunes. In Add/Remove Programs, select iTUnes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy there, check for a device filter conflict in registry, as per the following document:
